Queens girl Alexa Gonzalez hauled out of school in handcuffs aft. Pace for News Alexa Gonzalez, a student Junior High School 190 in Forest Hills, Queens, was handcuffed and detained at police precinct for doodling on her desk with erasable marker. A 12-year-old Queens girl was hauled out of school in handcuffs for an artless offense - doodling her name on her desk in erasable marker, the Daily News has learned.

"I love my friends Abby and Faith," the girl wrote, adding the phrases "Lex was here. 2/1/10" and a smiley face. But instead of simply cleaning off the doodles after class, Alexa landed in some adult-sized trouble for using her lime-green magic marker. She was led out of school in cuffs and walked to the precinct across the street, where she was detained for several hours, she and her mother said. "I started crying, like, a lot," said Alexa. "She's been throwing up," said her mom, Moraima Camacho, 49, an accountant, who lives with her daughter in Kew Gardens.

City officials acknowledged Alexa's arrest was a mistake. rmonahan@nydailynews.com. Jon Stewart Visits Bill O’Reilly and Faults Fox News - NYTimes.c. Is Google is Stealing Your Content and Hijacking Your Traffic. Google has long been an advocate of “build great content”; however, in reality, it’s turning into “build great content … and if we like it we’ll take it from you, put it on our pages, and deprive you of that traffic. Without compensation.” Strong accusations, sure, but I’m willing to step up to the plate, put my money where my mouth is, and show you how it’s being done. Let’s say you live in the Miami area or are thinking of taking a vacation there. You might want to bring your family to the Miami Seaquarium, and it might be a good idea to find out exactly where they are and what hours they are open.

So what do you do? Fire up your browser, head on over to Google, and search for [seaquarium miami]. You should get a result that’s something like this: So what’s the problem? See that review and link to “more information”? This is almost the exact behavior I described in my debate with Danny Sullivan a few weeks ago on Sphinn. Want another example of Google stealing?

Stunningly Preserved 165-Million-Year-Old Spider Fossil Found | Scientists have unearthed an almost perfectly preserved spider fossil in China dating back to the middle Jurassic era, 165 million years ago. The fossilized spiders, Eoplectreurys gertschi, are older than the only two other specimens known by around 120 million years. The level of detail preserved in the fossils is amazing, said paleontologist Paul Selden of the University of Kansas and lead author of the study appearing Feb. 6 in Naturwissenschaften. “You go in with a microscope, and bingo!

It’s fantastic.” The fossils were found at a site called Daohugou in Northern China that is filled with fossilized salamanders, small primitive mammals, insects and water crustaceans. Spider fossils from this period are rare, because the arachnids’ soft bodies don’t preserve well. E. gertschi shows all the features of the modern members of the family, found in North America, suggesting it has evolved very little since the Jurassic period, Selden said.

Why the "Green Police" Is So San Francisco. Audi's "Green Police" Super Bowl ad was clearly out to mock environmentalist fervor -- and it hit close to home in greener-than-thou San Francisco. Perhaps that's because it was the brainchild of Audi's advertising agency, San Francisco independent Venables Bell & Partners. Sitting squarely in the "I am white, middle-class man, hear me roar" school of ads, the Cheap Trick-scored commercial suggested a world in which the type of individual decisions that seem meaningless but in the aggregate make a difference are enforced by enthusiastic law enforcement professionals in green uniforms. The implication: You can only escape the zealots if you buckle under and forego plastic grocery bags for paper (when you should be bringing your own, but you knew that).

Unless, of course, you buy an Audi. Because nothing says "I'm a real American, and not some effete liberal environmental lunatic" like an Audi. Copyright NBC Owned Television Stations. Cell Phones are Dangerous, But This May Be Far Worse... An increasingly alarmed army of international scientists have reached a controversial conclusion: The "electrosmog" that first began developing with the rollout of the electrical grid a century ago and now envelops every inhabitant of Earth is responsible for many of the diseases that impair or kill them.

During the past 100 years, we have methodically filled in the electromagnetic spectrum far beyond what occurs in nature. Recently, several developments have highlighted the growing hazards of EMF pollution and the crucial need to address them. In 2007, the Bioinitiative Working Group released a 650-page report citing more than 2,000 studies (many very recent) that detail the toxic effects of EMFs from all sources.

Chronic exposure to even low-level radiation (like that from cell phones), can cause a variety of cancers, impair immunity, and contribute to Alzheimer's disease and dementia, heart disease, and many other ailments.

As a neat little exercise, I have compiled a list of videos to show what English sounds like to people around the world. As English speakers, we have a lot of fun imitating what certain languages sound like to us, such as French, Italian, and Chinese.

One Great example from Family guy. Let’s turn the tables and see what other people think we sound like. 1. Italian singer, songwriter, comedian, actor, and tv host Adriano Celentano wrote this amazing in 1972. 2. This is what English sounds like to a little Japanese boy. 3. This strange French fellow does a surprisingly good imitation of English, along with a few other languages. 4.

He also tries to do other languages as well, amusing. 8. 9. This is very, very strange… 10. Michael Jackson Balding, Incredibly Thin and Had Tattooed Facial.

Just after Michael Jackson’s sudden death in June last year, rumors started circulating that the late singer was severely emaciated and bald. Although such allegations were frequently shot down, the coroner's report released on Monday confirms them, and adds new, graphic information. Sixty-one photographs of the former pop prince were taken prior to and throughout the procedure.

According to the report, Jackson’s hair was “sparse and connected to a wig.” “There is frontal balding and the hair can be described as short and tightly curled,” the report claimed. Jackson hair line was tattooed on, as were other facial features.

The autopsy report also described Jackson, 50, as “thin”, weighing just 136 pounds while being 69 inches (5'9") in length. “Jackson was extremely underweight for his frame. “I love him so much,” Ortega recently told us.

As anyone who's ever encountered babies in the wild can tell you, they're shiftless little balls of deception and greed. Those of us who stand up to walk, and sit down to poop may not be Mother Theresa, but it turns out we had a long way to go from our babbling drooling selves.

Yes, unless you're a borderline sociopath today, you were probably at your worst before you ever uttered a word. It's science! It seems crazy that a barely functioning human infant could be cunning enough to lie to get out of trouble, but it's true. Oh shut up, you piece of shit. Perhaps even more surprising is that, when they know they've done something wrong, the little bastards will distract their parents to avoid getting caught.

Why Did I Do That?! Lying is considered an important part of a child's development. According to science, lying isn't something that happens when a normal baby get's corrupted by TV--it is normal human behavior. Pictured: You, if your parents were flightless birds. Survival.
